Michael McCann - Watchtower

[QuikDJ]

Michael McCann made me see the light

[ryanthemadhatter]

Thanks for the link!!! I looked everywhere for this track the first time I heard it and couldn't find it.

[DumbassAdult]

YouTube should have a replay count, no one believes i heard this a million times :(

[Myers68er]

WHERE IS THIS PICTURE FROM PLEASE ?

OR WHRERE CAN I FIND A PICTURE JUST LIKE THIS ?

[acrazyguy14]

@Myers68er hmm... not sure mate. a highter res version would make a cool wallpaper.

[Alinella2100]

Невероятно красивый трек!*_*

[inceptionsd]

I never asked for this, but i liked it !

[igor999gt]

[Kiemenbeisser]

Who cud dislike this beautiful song???

[777fallenangel77]

good god ... this song makes me feel like my soul is being ripped from my body.... it's sooooo intense.... XD

[Choilleich777]

What album is watchtower from?

[LASuperboy]

deus ex

[zema190]

Шикарная тема!

[MrSkambank]

This, this makes me feel good.

[alchimicomania]

Deus Ex HR soundtrack is a Masterpiece... i'm a fan !

Michael McCann rules !

[scypion11]

Wow the photo is really.... Awe inspiring

[upublic]

Nihil aliud scit necessitas quam vincere

[Veyrall]

@upublic Ipsa Scientia Potestas Est

[MioRaem]

Like if you also were a fan of Michael McCann BEFORE Deus Ex 3 :D

[AndyRaslan]

@MioRaem I never asked for this.

But I love it.

[Tarik360]

@MioRaem I wish I was :(

[GIGANTOR89]

@MioRaem I'm always curious as to why stuff like this ever matters. A real fan would want as many people as possible to be able to appreciate something like this music, not selfishly try to keep such talent hidden in the dark.

[MioRaem]

@GIGANTOR89 ...Huh?

[saygoodnightmanuel]

I imagine Jensen and Malik flying off into the sunset on this music

[MICHALIS76]

great music and photo as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[polufhmos]

This is city, is the Athens.

[HotaruZoku]

It has such an orignal sound. Like....

"Electronic Humanity" or...

"Things turn out all right in the end, after all".

[yellOStuntguy]

@HotaruZoku

lol nice, electronic humanity sounds like a perfect name

it fits so perfectly

[HotaruZoku]

@TheKKK192 I'm with you. If this type of music has some sort of specific name I'd LOVE to hear it. This is so...unique. it'd take raw trial and error to find other works like this without some sort of genre word.

[Choilleich777]

@HotaruZoku Most of his music falls under Ambient with a little trip hop and pop mixed in.

[freakinbreakin]

that sounds like indonesian music instrument, 'gamelan', doesn't it?

[LeTrungAnh]

Reinstalling...

[vendo233]

Watchtower? Wonder if this is like a personal favorite for Jehovah's Witnesses, lol. Great music, BTW

[Matsuda41]

Ive been a fan of McCann since his truly incredbale work on Splinter cell double agents music, and now Deus ex. This guy should do way more games in the future!

[hardlinemonk]

Whoa!!! listen to the talent in this track :)

[HotaruZoku]

It's almost hard to belive he's the one that did the soundtrack for Deus Ex Human Revolution. The work is still quality, but most of the pieces are very low key and repetitive, avoiding clear themes like this one has.

He DOES maintain a coherent..."feel"...across his works that I love.

[mmx25]

@HotaruZoku Game scores have to be 'repetitive' because they are often queued up instantly, or are playing in the background while the player is doing other things. They are not supposed to be the main focus of attention. Regular songs can be used to do any number of things. His work on DX is absolutely brilliant and he will win awards for it, I'm sure.

[HotaruZoku]

@mmx25 While I agree that's usually the case, Marty O'Donnel alone demonstrates it need not be the /only/ case. I do agree about McCann's work, and hope he's recognized officaly for it.

Though to be honest if I were a composer and had people loving it on YouTube, I'd consider that to BE offical recognition.

[dejavu2me]

OUTSTANDING

[DezzyDh96]

Michael is such a good composer, he just hits all the good spots with his music, it just sounds so great

[geekdude70]

whats the song from the deus ex commercial

[badaninmatthew]

@geekdude70 Michael McCann- icarus

[thef183]

@geekdude70 Icarus

[DaveKraft400]

@geekdude70 Transmissions - My World

[BedBananas]

I just feel the need to make a trailer for something out of this song!

.

[Hardcoregamer2008]

my new musik style ^^ i find it very nice

[marco12501]

Watch the stars with this FREAKING MASTERPIECE It's awesome

[FacelessScarlet]

Came here for Deus Ex...now I'm a Michael McCann fan too

[cyguration]

@FacelessScarlet I was looking for more music like Tron Legacy (movie sucked but the soundtrack is straight up epic) and I eventually came across Michael McCann since his Deus Ex track is so dang similar. But like you, I'm now a fan, too.

[levitabusman]

@cyguration fucking dickhead tron legacy was awesome movie

[manuel8200]

@FacelessScarlet you never asked for this

[Mjolnir767]

here cuz of deus ex and splinter cell. May they live forever. God save michael mccann

[JoshuatheKodiak]

@Mjolnir767

Hmm. 'God Save' would imply that he landed himself into some trouble... He is not ill, is he?

[Mjolnir767]

here cuz of deus ex and splinter cell. May they live forever.

[Justas923]

Future ambient music

[hansaru]

@TheKKK192 God Is An Astronaut, Explosions In The Sky, 65daysofstatic (yes without spaces) try making a Pandora station using one of the three. If you enjoy piano bits in it then you are better off with 65daysofstatic or God Is An Astronaut

[kikeo]

@TheKKK192 This is EPIC MUSIC dude :)

[shehan117]

Jehovah's Witnesses! ahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!

[pixiearmy85]

@shehan117

Did you just google the word 'Watchtower' and take the 1st option? Watchtower is a generic word for a guard tower, or high structure that overlooks a city or castle. It has nothing to do with Jehovah's Witness. Yes - there's a famous JW magazine called "The Watchtower", but I'm sure Bob Dylan, Hendrix and U2 weren't singing about that when they recorded one of the most famous songs in history - "All Along the Watchtower".

Think before you post next time.

[hollowinichigo]

@shehan117 what is jehovahs witnesses?

[TheRindill]

Opening reminds me of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (the reprise).

[Tm0g762]

Listen to "When the levee breaks" by led zeppelin. Intro has something in common with this.

[Ossinerith]

@Tm0g762

Yes it's right ! You saw an impressive thing. I think it's a remix of the led zep version, playing on harmonic, doing variation etc...

[lamaskaradelatienda1]

Watchtower??

Is he a Jehovah's Witnesses?

[t0yo]

The new hans zimmer

[1337Tazer]

This person is a skilled composer.

[berwak23]

two people need an eye exam, the completely missed the like button

[TheGoodDoctorF]

Congrats to Michael McCann for his big break with Deus Ex. Already "Icarus" has made him fairly well known. Looking forward to seeing what else he comes out with.

[DreadNawght]

i first 2 years ago that the music in splinter cell double agent was unusually good. I looked for the artist who made this and im still listening to his music. He is really better than most of the soundtracks artists

[HotaruZoku]

@raymhensley Ditto.

[InvertedNailSystems]

Awesome music, I've listened to this over and over again, McCann is simply a legend.

[kid2will]

@raymhensley I will buy the game for the soundtrack.

[oirokenojutsu85]

1 dislike. 1 fag.

[EnigmaticUnseen]

I am amazed that anyone has the audacity to dislike this, or even contemplate it. I imagine it's probably some die hard dubstep kid.

[Kuti210]

PINK FLOYD

[ThisIsAPenPercy]

Repeat Button rape

[HavokLurch]

@ThisIsAPenPercy is there a repeat button?

[faisalhalim]

@HavokLurch Just add it to your queue, and let the queue loop forever, even if it has only one song.

[ThisIsAPenPercy]

Inspiring, beautiful, imaginiative, powerful, moving, magic.

[00033]

It sounds funny that I learned about this guy from Splinter Cell and and Deus Ex (both are videogames). But DAMN McCann makes great music.

[lizaable]

Hey does anyone know what album this is from and where I could get/download it from?

[DMFireProductions]

@lizaable Just type 'youtube to mp3' in google, and you should be able to find some good stuff

[lizaable]

Hey does anyone know what album this is from and where I could get/download it from?

[lizaable]

Does anyone know where this is from? I would love to own a whole record of this kind of stuff!!

[LTBL88]

@TheKKK192 you might also like massive attack, rjd2 and dj shadow

1 Dislike = 1 person is deaf

[6robyc]

What a perfect tune to study for finals. Eases up the stress-tension.

:)

[MrIonB]

On repeat for the last hours and if feels great!

[Maklai88]

@TheKKK192 Try "God Is An Astronaut" band - indie rock, post-rock, ambient.



[Wharwulif]

@Maklai88 I just tried it,and I must say,it's realy wowish!

[rjakobej]

@Maklai88 Another great band playing something similar is polish band Tides from Nebula, especially their second record eartshine is beautiful

[halfblood47]

@Maklai88 u made me find a band that makes fantastic musik!!!!

[bobbytikital]

for some reason this reminds me of the movie Sunshine

[ender613]

This fellow is amazing. I am also here because of his work for Deus Ex, and I am glad the rest of his work is just as amazing (if not even better).

[Squiddlysplooch]

wow this is amazing.

[transformerszlaja]

Soundtrack of life.

[Latsch82]

Awesome!

[Chronox5]

absolutely beautiful, it's weird that so little people know of this guy

[kid2will]

@Chronox5 When you're not "live" performing on TV it takes a while to get the word around. Respect comes slower but at a higher level.

[xVxXPrinceXxVx]

This music.....is so........BEAUTIFUL!!!

[SolidSnake032486]

If I were to make music I would want to sound like this.

[ResultOfGunfire]

@raymhensley Absolutely agree with you. Simply because of his Deus Ex work, I am now a fan.

[jubailblast]

Glad they chose this guy for Deus Ex: HR. His music is just perfect for that game. Adds a layer of personality.

[321John654]

Gaming Studios, film studios: EYES ON THIS MEN!!! HE MAKES YOUR WORK TO A EPIC WORK!!!

[DEvilgodspidER]

OMZFG!! Awesome!

[eduardosuarez]

The beginning reminds me of Moby's cover of New Dawn Fades.

[kikeo]

BLOWS YOUR MIND UP! UP! AND FURTHER!

[djmland]

move aside Hans Zimmer!

[Jammed9000]

A potential Steve Jablonsky?

[zabuzarx07]

Amazing music. This guy's going to be as big as Harry Gregson-Williams, imo.

[mindelements]

very good is there a CD??

[Aelkamal]

Very Epic !

[transformerszlaja]

Awesome!!!

[jockiboy]

Epic!

[nemisisbeta]

This is one artist/composer to watch...

[ditroiamusic]

@nemisisbeta I absolutely agree!!

[rod2d3dbz]

Amazing song!

[Chriscedk]

[Amanjh1]
